Set out your lesson
Trace how a flowering plant forms seeds and how seeds travel.
Follow this model in an accessible mode before attempting independent work. Graph ordering is not learner mastery; revisit prerequisites if the guided task still needs full modeling.
Check readiness rather than assuming source graph order establishes attainment.
Use the supplied sequence cards; no flowers need be picked. Open Show (S), then Guided (G), then Try (T). Hide earlier work and keys before Try. Use only the supplied stage material; do not invent additional cards. Pause or split the session if needed.
Materials are ready in each step. Use them on screen or print just the current step. Put teaching examples aside before the learner tries.
What this lesson covers and its limits
These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.
- partial: Understand the life cycle of flowering plants including pollination, seed formation, and seed dispersal
Sequence and two fresh dispersal applications; no live life-cycle observation. Canonical between-flower wording is expanded to include self-pollination.
- partial: Describe the stages: pollination → fertilisation → seed formation → seed dispersal
Sequence and two fresh dispersal applications; no live life-cycle observation. Canonical between-flower wording is expanded to include self-pollination.
- partial: Explain at least two methods of seed dispersal (wind, animal, water, explosion)
Sequence and two fresh dispersal applications; no live life-cycle observation. Canonical between-flower wording is expanded to include self-pollination.
- partial: Describe pollination as the transfer of pollen from one flower to another, often by insects or wind
Sequence and two fresh dispersal applications; no live life-cycle observation. Canonical between-flower wording is expanded to include self-pollination.
- partial: Can {{name}} explain how a flower turns into a fruit with seeds inside, and how those seeds get spread to grow new plants?
